Over the weekend I visited Dartmouth, and around lunchtime, I asked the local students where they recommended I go to eat, and they gave me some pretty typical answers. They suggested small restaurants that gave you as much food as possible, and since I was on a budget, that was pretty appealing to me. I chose to go to a pretty popular place. The restaurant was a small burrito place called Boloco, it was pretty similar to a Chipotle, and from what I had heard it was just as good if not better. I walked into the store expecting a pretty standard lunch, kind of like a taco bell or something. When I walked in and looked at the menu I was pleasantly surprised.
Some of the options were traditional like their classic Mexican burrito with beans rice, salsa and chicken, but there were tons of options from barbecue to Asian teriyaki to Mediterranean. I scanned the menu wanting to get something interesting, I considered the Cajun with cajun chicken, salsa, black beans, rice, and sour cream. I pondered the possibility of enjoying the tikka masala burrito with brown rice, and authentic chicken tikka masala, but finally I settled on the most unique sounding option, the Bangkok Thai, juicy chicken, with Asian slaw, cucumbers, brown rice, and a Thai peanut sauce. It sounded adventurous. It sounded delicious.
Even the soda there was unique, instead of a regular soda machine, it had a touch screen. You could choose from like 10 different drinks and then choose a flavor to add to it. I saw this as another opportunity. I sampled fruit punch and lime Fanta, both of which were gross, and I tried cherry vanilla coke which wasn’t so bad, but I ended up doing what I always did before. Mixing. I got a half a cup of grape sprite and a half a cup of raspberry Fanta, a delicious reddish purple cup of creativity. I guess you can be adventurous with food no matter where you decide to go.
